Scholarships are available for the MPhil in Chinese Studies at Trinity College Dublin, and applications are open for September 2016. Our Master's degree in Chinese Studies seeks to develop students’ in-depth knowledge and understanding of China in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries within a comparative, global context. We approach the study of China from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including modern Chinese history and thought, politics and governance, language, society and culture.

Fudan University is offering a 4-week summer session that offers 18 content courses and 3 Chinese language courses at different levels. Since Fudan University is an exchange partner with the University of Chicago, there are a number of full tuition scholarships available. The scholarships are not limited to students on financial aid; all students are eligible.
